'hung parliament' in their own selfish interest ?
Dear Mr. Vohra,
While all of us appreciate your clarion call and laudable objective/aim, the present day politicians of various and innumerable parties do not wish to achieve this goal but to have a 'hung parliament' in their own selfish interest so that when their alliance comes to power they could bargain for prized and coveted posts in the cabinet to amass wealth and acquire fame but least interested in the overall development of the country so that we could become a strong nation and attain the forefront position, even surpassing China. But unfortunately we don't wish to achieve this position through our politicians! Why so many parties at the national and regional levels?
Can we cannot force and forge and demand merger and unity amongst them so that we could also arrive at a two/three party system, as in USA or UK etc. so that the nation could march forward and we need not go begging for alms. It appears, unfortunately, that the AAP may finally spoil the broth and prevent achieving the two strong parties system at the national level. We should admit that both the major 'national parties' i.e. Congress and BJB have done a commendable job at the state and national levels whenever they are in power but due to lack of strong opposition and self-serving and corrupt politicians have spoiled the economy and failed to forge the national spirit amongst the people (aam aadmi) leading to corruption and chaos at various levels beyond measure.
Unless and until we ruthlessly and religiously in spirit and letter eliminate corruption at various levels, starting from the top and then leading to the bottom, as corruption is more rampant with huge implications at the top, indirectly being helped by those in helm of affairs, including our bureaucrats who reaped the alms to the extent possible!
I am extremely pained with anguish to witness the ways and means adopted by the foresaid twins i.e politicians and bureaucrats to exploit the country as a whole! Of course, we do now require a strong and solid party with a brute majority to resolve the problems being faced by the nation at various levels and do away with all free alms extended to the people for no logic or reason or justification indeed!
An aam aadmi (in the true sense).

Tribunal clears way for power rate hike
NEW DELHI, Mar 11, 2014, DHNS:
Asks DERC to create road map to help discoms recover arrears
Delhiites may suffer another power tariff shocker as the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL) has asked the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) to take an early decision on getting the huge accumulated arrears owed to the discoms cleared.
The three discoms of Delhi – BSES Yamuna Pvt Ltd (BYPL), BSES Rajdhani Pvt Ltd (BRPL) and Tata Power Delhi Distribution Ltd (TPDDL) – had approached the APTEL a few months back complaining against fear of a prejudiced order from DERC against them.
Bank loans
After the hearing, the tribunal asked the DERC to create a road map for paying back the arrears of Rs 8,000 crore to the three discoms. This will give the discoms a chance to demand an enhanced power tariff to balance their accounts.
After the tribunal decision, the discoms will be able to get loan from banks to pay off their due to power generation companies (gencos) National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), Pragati Power Corporation Limited Delhi (PPCL), Indraprastha Gas Power Generation Company Limited (IPGCL) and Delhi Transco.
The NTPC had threatened to discontinue power supply to the Reliance Infra-backed discoms BYPL and BRPL is the fail to pay of the dues of RS 127 crore.
The Supreme Court had asked the NTPC to not to cut the power supply till March 25 and asked the discoms to pay Rs 50 crore to the genco.
“We welcome the order of APTEL directing DERC to take an early decision for liquidation of the huge accumulated arrears owed to the Delhi discoms. APTEL has clearly directed DERC to ensure sustainability of the business of the discoms,” said a BSES spokesperson.
Financial support
APTEL has also recognised the need for financial support from the Government to ensure discoms recover their past dues, with minimum burden on consumers.
DERC has already proposed last week a road map for payment of over Rs. 8,000 crore and interest thereon owed to the discoms, he added.
The subsidy on power tariff of 50 per cent on 0-200 and 201-400 units slab announced by former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is also going to end on March 31.
It is understood that the DERC will allow the discoms for a hike in power tariffs next month.

KHEL GAON - RELAY FAST ON 5TH MARCH FROM 11 AM ONWARDS ... PROTECT PUBLIC GREENS, STOP NOISE POLLUTION, DESTRUCTION OF HERITAGE
PRESS RELEASE
Residents of many colonies in South Delhi like Gulmohar Park, Panchsheel, Hauz Khas, Anand Lok, Niti Bagh, Shahpur Jat and Khel Gaon have been battling for 16 long years against the misappropriation of a district Park by a single Banquet hall owner ‘Asiad Banquets’ who had got the Tower restaurant and a small piece of land around it on lease in nexus with DDA, but proceeded to occupy an entire District Park at the entrance of Asian Games Village by manipulations with DDA officials, posting their security guards at the entrance. This is in violation of the Master Plan in which it is continues to be a DISTRICT PARK.
This is resulting in following problems for the residents :
PROTECT PUBLIC GREENS
We are enclosing photographs of when it was a Park 20 years ago and how it was slowly misappropriated, to which entry of public has been banned. Public land is now in possession of a private person. Many children used to play in this Park.
STOP NOISE POLLUTION
Apart from inability to use the Park there is immense noise pollution all nights from many weddings with loud music and crackers effecting the health of citizens.
Thousands of calls to the Police have no effect.
AVOID TRAFFIC JAMS
Hundreds of cars are parked inside the park and cause huge traffic jams outside also to the residents, including hindered movement of Ambulances. In short every night is a nightmare in this otherwise peaceful area.
We call upon the media for their support to help us in this crisis.
DESTRUCTION OF HERITAGE
The 14th Century Siri Fort Wall and Bulbul Ki Masjid is inside which has been taken inside his boundary wall including the ASI plaque. It was earlier open on the road.
LOCALS WILL KEEP RELAY FAST ON 5TH MARCH FROM 11 AM ONWARDS.
WE ARE HOLDING A ON WEDNESDAY MARCH 5th AND WOULD REQUEST YOU TO KINDLY COVER THIS. WE WILL BE VERY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
You can speak to :
Gr. Capt. Jain : 9811449431
Mr. Billy Gupta : 9811020017
Ms. Manju Lal : 9811038343
Warm Regards,
